T 0 all whom 'it-may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANZ Tnosmnnn, a citizen of the German Empire, residing at Dsseldorf, in the Province of Rhineland and Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, have in,- vented new and useful Improvements in Contrivances for Saturating Liquids with Gas, of which the following isa specification.

The present invention contemplates a coutrivance for saturating liquids with gas, in which a measuring faucet of well known construction is used, the body of which is connected not only with the'piping for feeding on the liquid to be saturated and the exit for the saturated liquid, but also with a mixing vessel and a carbonio acid-bottle, and the plug of which is provided with several chambers, to be brought in conjunction with the supply and the escape. On turning the plug from the one into the other operative position the chamber actually filled with the liquid to be saturated, is moved past the inlet for the gas, and in vits final position it is brought in connection with mixing vessel, into which the liquid under pressure is driven under atomization, after which, owing to the tilting of the whole of the contrivance, the now saturated liquid is returned toward the chamber for being evacuated from this, after having turned the plug into the subsequent operative position.

The drawing, in which similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views, shows one form of embodiment of the contrivance.

Figure l represents it in longitudinal section, and Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line A to B of the Fig. l, while Fig. 3 is illustrative of the contrivance in a partial side-view.

The contrivance consists of the vessel a and of the casing or body Z) of the cock, connected by means of sockets cl, t to be kept in screw-engagement, and supported by means of a lever f pivoted at c on a table or a wall or in similar ways. The plug of the cock is formed by four chambers, le, 702, 7c3, 7a4, each of which carries an aperture Z for the admission or the exit respectively of the liquid as well as the further apertures m and a. The body of the cock is connected by means of a pipe g with a carbonic acid-bottle or the like and with a vessel a by a pipe d. The pipe al has provided therein a brush p above which a serrate rail or another suitable device is arranged. The supportingplate for the brush has pivotally affixed thereto a iap valve Q which conveys the liquid running from the body to the vessel (L past the brush, which, however, when by the turning of the contrivance at the lever the vessel ais moved in upward direction, swings backward, so that the impregnated liquid, without entering into contact with the brush, is free to flow back into the body o.

When the plug is in the position shown in Fig. l, the chamber le is being filled with liquid. When turning the plug through an angle of 90o the chamber gets connected to the pipe-socket d and simultaneously it is moved with its aperture m past the supplypipe g for the carbonio acid, so that carbonic acid enters into the chamber lo pressing the liquid therein against the brush p and into the vessel a during which operation the liquid is atomized or separated by means of the brush and of the serrate rail into a number of small particles and thereby is intimately mixed up with the carbonio acid. The aperture m is arranged in such a way, that at the turning of the plug of the cock, the connection between the chamber and the inlet g for carbonio acid be checked prior to the coming of the plug of the cock into its actual final position. The liquid in the vessel a is caused to return to the chamber c by turning the device at the lever The carbonic acid contained in the said chamber may, when the liquid flows back linto the chamber, pass over to the vessel a through the aperture n and the pipe 0.

For drawing away impregnated liquid it is only required to turn the plug of the cock through a further angle of 90, in which arrangement the opening Z of the chamber enters into connection with the outlet socket.

For preventing the plug to be turned in the wrong direction, z'. e. to the right, under reference to the drawing, a ratchet-wheel r, as shown in Fig. 3, and a pawl s, engaging with this, may be provided at the body b. Further the handle may carry a spring-actuated pin t, which after each quarter of a rotation of the'plug clicks into a recess in the top of the body of the cock, so that the plug can be moved farther from this position only by expending a somewhat greater force. The object of this arrangement is to prevent, that the plug of the cock be moved inadvertently too far, z'. e. beyond the actual operative position.

l. A device of the character described, comprising a mixing Vessel, a casing connected thereto, a chambered apertured plug rotatable Within the casing, a liquid pipe and a gas pipe adapted to communicate With the plug, an atomizer intermediate mixing vessel and casing, and means for pivotally supporting the vessel and casing.

A device of the character described, comprising a mixing vessel, a casing connected thereto, a chambered apertured plug rotatable Within the casing, a liquid pipe and a gas pipe adapted to communicate With the plug, a brush and a Hap valve intermediate mixing vessel and casing, and means `for pivotally supporting the vessel and easin A device of the character described, comprising a mixing vessel, a Casin connected thereto, a chambered aperture plug rotatable Within the casing, a liquid pipe and a gas pipe adapted to communicate With the plug, a brush, a serrated rail and a Hap valve intermediate mixin vessel and casing, and means for pivotal y supporting the vessel and casing.
